Windows 10: error 0xc000012f BAD IMAGE

Just couple of days back I bought a new WINDOWS 10 Laptop, it went under a huge update for the entire day!!! Soon after this update was done a message popped up saying " C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\MSVCP140.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains error.Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for the support. Error Status 0xc000012f."


Can someone please help me with a solution to this. My laptop is also taking a lot of time to get started.

Bad Image 0xc000012f Error

Hi Matt,

The error code 0xc000012f with the message "Bad Image" appears when the image file that is being used is not in the right format.
We need to do further investigation on your concern. Kindly answer the following questions for clarification:

• Which build of Windows 10 are you using? To know about it, hit
  Start, type Winver and then press
  Enter. You could also press Windows Key + R, type
  Winver into the
  Run dialog and press Enter.
• Have you checked if there's any pending system update that needs to be installed on your computer?
• Can you tell us what troubleshooting steps you have done so far?

Furthermore, we suggest that you perform a
clean boot to your computer to enhance its performance. Clean boot temporarily disables all third party applications as well as all Microsoft non-essential services so only basic drivers will run. This will help us
find any third-party software which could be the cause of this issue.

Looking forward to the requested information and the results of the recommended troubleshooting step.

 

dbgcore.dll Bad Image (0xc000012f) & Application Error (0xc0150002)


I am encountering this problem on Windows 10 Pro

Errors i am seeing:
- i can't run Outlast, Geometry Dash, Assassin's Creed (even i reinstalled them) [separate errors]
- I am seeing less options [Shut Down & Log off, Task Manager] (on Right-Click Context Menu on Start Button)
- *APPNAME*.exe - Bad Image; C:\Windows\System32\dbgcore.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error...
- *APPNAME*.exe - Application Error; The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0150002)

i unlocked the Adminstrator Account and the Right-Click Context Menu on Start Button has complete options, i didn't damage any system files, i think this error came from one thing that i don't know (a virus maybe?), how will i fix this? thanks for any response.

EDIT: i tried sfc /scannow and DaRT, Reset This PC options but nothing worked (Reset freezes at 8% and fails)

 

Bad Image 0xc000012f Error

• I tried both the SFC and the clean boot. For the SFC step I could not get the first step in preparing for SFC to work. DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth This would not work for me you can see the attached
  screenshot.
• For the cleanboot step, i was able to disable everything but Microsoft services and still had the same problem when trying to play the origin video games. So i tried to disable some of the Microsoft services
  as described in the steps but my computer was behaving very erratic with many things dis-appearing.
• Can we try remote help? Or can you call me?
